Although drummer Steve Davis organized this date and is its nominal leader, pianist Richie Beirach is the main solo voice and star throughout. His lengthy improvisations (with Davis and bassist Francois Moutin) range from the introspective to the swinging and even include some whimsical moments (particularly on "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise" and a few of his song quotes). The playing is quite spontaneous, with Moutin and Davis closely following Beirach's ideas. Five of the songs (two of Beirach's better-known originals plus "Blue & Green," "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise," and "Nardis") clock in between eight and 11 minutes, while the closing medley of "Free," "Stella by Starlight," and "Solar" goes on for over 28 minutes. The interplay between the musicians is consistently intriguing and Richie Beirach has rarely sounded better. Well worth several listens. ~ Scott Yanow

Purchase Explorations & Impressions CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Merle Haggard My Love Affair With Trains/The Roots Of My Raising CD (2002) (Import) Remastered; United Kingdom
Explorations & Impressions album
 $20.39  
This import BGO two-fer combines Merle Haggard's last two records for Capitol, both of them from 1976. My Love Affair With Trains harkens back to Haggard's tribute album to Jimmie Rodgers in spirit. It is narrated between cuts, offering different facts, from the history of the railroads to Haggard's personal observations. While he only contributes one original to the set ("No More Trains to Ride"), it nonetheless bears a deeply personal and heartfelt stamp with cuts by Mark Yeary, the title by Dolly Parton, Dave Kirby, and Red Lane. Haggard weaves an iconographic history of the rails -- from past to present to uncertain future -- seamlessly and with great taste. Likewise, The Roots of My Raising is also a deep and moving personal statement. Again, there is only one original on the set ("Am I Standing in Your Way"), but it is no less symbolic an album than My Love Affair With Trains. The Roots of My Raising garnered Haggard ...

Explorations & Impressions music CDs
$15.29 
Some of guitarist Robben Ford's weaknesses, such as song composition and vocals, are rectified or at least made less obvious, on this predominantly live release. On his fourth release for the Concord label, Ford is able to cherrypick better material from inconsistent albums, unearth choice covers, and generally broaden the music with his fiery playing. This, along ...

| | Frank Sinatra Nothing But The Best CD (2008) Remastered
Explorations & Impressions album
$15.39
"The Chairman of the Board" died in May of 1998, yet his music sounds as vital and relevant today as ever. Released on the 10th anniversary of his death--in coordination with a slew of DVD releases commemorating the singer's acting career as well as an official U.S. Postal Service stamp--NOTHING BUT THE BEST provides an excellent look at Sinatra's tenure at the Reprise label. Among the album's 22 vintage cuts are classics such as "The Way You Look Tonight," "Luck Be a Lady," "Strangers in the Night," ...
| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
Explorations & Impressions CD music
$13.75
On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release ...
